Untangling the Energetics and Dynamics of Elementary Atomic Boron Reactions

Abstract

The primary objectives of this proposal are to elucidate the energetics and dynamics of elementary reactions of ground state boron atoms (B) with simple di-,tri-, and tetra atomic, nitrogen- and oxygen-bearing molecules. These closed shell molecules serve as prototype reaction partners accessing the HxBCyN (x=0,1,2,3; y=0,1) and HxBCyOz (x=0,1,2; y=0,1; z=1,2) systems which are important in the fields of basic physical chemistry (reaction dynamics), combustion chemistry, material sciences, chemical propulsion systems, physical organic chemistry, and chemical vapor deposition processes (boron-nitride films, ternary BCN compounds).
